AI summary of 217 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the tour guides, who are repeatedly described as knowledgeable, friendly, funny and skilled at driving the 4WD bus, as well as passionate about the island's history, wildlife and First Nations heritage. Many highlight the well-paced two-day itinerary, which allows ample time at sights such as Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, the Champagne Pools, the Maheno shipwreck and the rainforest, along with frequent wildlife sightings including dingoes. Reviewers value the organised logistics, the included meals and morning tea, and the convenience of being guided rather than self-driving, with an optional scenic flight noted as a memorable extra. The most common caveats concern the overnight accommodation, particularly a lack of Wi-Fi and air conditioning and somewhat dated rooms, with mixed comments on the resort restaurant food. Some also mention that the included walks can be longer or steeper than expected and that clearer advance information about the schedule and physical demands would help.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Amazing Island!”
We had an awesome trip! We fell in love with K’gari and Dean was such an amazing and fun guide!
The food from the restaurant in the evening was really bad though, but it didn’t ruin our the experience! We’ll definitely come back!
“Great for solo travelers!”
Amazing experience! Saw all the cool sights and learned a lot about the history of K’Gari and the aboriginal people. Hotel was amazing but had no wifi. Shoutout Keith for being the best tour guide ever.
“Highly recommended”
It was great and very varied. Food was excellent, the resort was top-notch, and the tour guide was fantastic :)
“K’gari one day 4WD adventure”
Taylah was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable and patient with everyone, plus a sense of humour.
We were blessed with beautiful weather and saw lots of wildlife. An amazing day all round. Thank you
“Don’t miss this experience.”
Absolutely beatyfull Island.
The best guide. Dean. So full og stories and fun.
Nice straff at the resort.
“A Great Time”
Enjoyed the tour very much. Dean our driver/guide was very friendly, helpful and professional. He gave us lots of interesting information about the history of the island as well as the flora and fauna. All of the places we went to & the activities we did were very enjoyable.
“Excellent Tour and Excellent Tour Guide Taylah”
Taylah was excellent throughout the tour… very interactive with us, knowledgeable, great driver.. we were all very impressed! Fun to be and couldn’t rate her highly enough. The 2 day tour was great as we did enough during the day and had to time to relax as well.. the plane tour was a big success! How brilliant to take off and land on a beach! Would definitely recommend anyone books with K’gari Explorer Tours… not big groups and we were very lucky as only 13 of us and we all had a great time… thank you and Taylah very much for a brilliant trip!
“Fun on K'Gari”
Taylah was our guide, and we couldn't be happier. She was so competent driving the bus and very knowledgeable about K'Gari. The Illumina light show was a highlight. Would definitely recommend to everyone especially young people, as there was so much yo do and see.
“You need to go to Fraser Island”
Fraser is AWESOME ! Jean is a very good guide. We saw many dingoes. The food is good too.
“Great tour with many impressions of that fascinating island.”
Our tour guide was Taylah. She is very experienced, a safe driver and knew so many details of what we saw. Always taking care that everybody in the small group felt fine at every time. Thank you Taylah!
“Total 8/10”
The room clean and tidy. The bus is ontime. The food is yummy. The service is good, especially Dean. He is amazing
and very professional. He takes us to some beatiful sight-seeings. He gives us lots of laught. We all love him.
However, if we can get WiFi in the room and can know in advance, the schedule details of the trip, it would be much better.
“Best two days!”
We had the best two days on K’Gari and I’m so happy we got to visit all the major sites on the island.
The tour was great, so nice having space on the bus - and great to stay in the hotel. Jean was friendly, knowledgeable and a great guide. We went when there was a blood moon and got to see the Milky Way which was insane!
“Fantastic experience!”
Had a lovely trip! Everything went smooth, from the pick-up at the hotel to the tour itself. We had Dave D as our tour guide, and he was absolutely phenomenal—very experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about K’gari. He shared so many interesting stories and facts throughout the day, making the whole experience both fun and educational.
A special mention also goes to Jeff, our bus driver back to the hotel, who was truly amazing. He was so friendly and kind, and went above and beyond to get us to where we needed to be, even tho this was not planned on beforehand. His positive attitude added so much to the overall experience.
The days was perfectly organized, with breathtaking stops and plenty of time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting K’gari—such a memorable and well-run experience!
“Enhoyable informative and fun!!”
Taylah our guide was wonderful!! So friendly and informative and a great driver of the 4wd bus. The tour was so well organised. We had a glorious 2 day tour of k'gari ! Would highly recommend
“Great experience!”
Even though we are locals to the area we found the tour to be well worth it. We got to see most of the iconic locations and learnt so much more about the islands ecosystem and history. Dean was an amazing guide. He was very friendly and kept everyone engaged and entertained while manoeuvring the large 4wd bus through some pretty tricky terrain. He even had some pretty funny dad jokes I must admit.
Kingfisher Bay Resort was very nice, the buffet breakfast was outstanding and the rooms were pleasant. The K'gari beach resort at Eurong is less fancy but everything you need. You don't spend too much time there anyway.
Overall, I think it is well worth the price you pay when you consider everything that is included and I would highly recommend this tour to anybody that is thinking about visiting the island.
“Keith’s Blue Bus”
My daughter and I had a fantastic time on the Blue Bus K’Gari tour with Keith.
He’s such a character, pointed out loads of interesting and amazing places on K’Gari
The guy has a fantastic musical taste, genuinely promotes First Nation history and interests.
Get on the Keith Bus you’ll have a Frickin awesome time. Honourable mention for Pirate Pete, great start to the tour with that guy!

“An amazing tour round an incredible island”
Just WOW!!
I cannot thank Taylor enough for the tour she provided… From her top class driving skills to her knowledge of the island.
The experience was incredible…
The opening nighttime Laser event at the Kingfisher resort was a treat.
Lake Makenzie is enchanting and the general scenery throughout the island is incredible… topped off with a short flight around the island in a 6 seater plane.
“Paradise!”
We were fortunate enough to have been on a tour with only 5 people, including 3 being our family so it made the experiences so much more enjoyable and less rushed/noisy. The price was well reflected foe the quality of places we visited, our accommodation, food and how well Dean, our tour guide looked after us. We stayed at each destination a good amount of time, again we stopped frequently to look at cool stuff out the window so that was good. Our first bus driver Pete picked us up from the Shell servonat Rainbow Beach to take us to our first stop at Lake McKenzie, he was super nice and knowledgeable. The bus was packed and barge rude was choppy but that's was OK. Once we swam at Lake Mackenzie we met our new tour guide Dean who we spent the remainder of our 2 day time with. He was also super knowledgeable and made us feel safe and looked after during our time with him. The destinations defiently lived up to their names on the island, simply paradise
“Fantastic two days in paradise”
This trip was absolutely worth it! Our tour guide Taylah did a fantastic job, both driving us around safely and comfortably, and giving us insights into the history and nature of this breathtaking island.
We'd definitely recommend the two-day tour, as it gives you enough time for each activity.
The Kingfisher Bay Resort offers a great variety of activities (tennis, pool, spa) and good food, too (we particularly liked the breakfast). Its sister hotel on the other side, K'gari Beach Resort, is a bit older, but offers spacious rooms (no a/c!) and also surprisingly good food.
“2 Day Trip Really Worth It”
Andrew was great guide. Saw heaps of Dingos and great activities both days. An amazing wilderness and pro company, Great group and food was really good.
“Great, wild paradise”
The island is a great, wild paradise. The rainforest is stunning, and the adventure at Champagne Pools and floating on Eli Creek was a happy experience for the whole family. Dave D. did a great job guiding us and giving us the perfect ride. Thanks for the safe ride, the information about the island, flora and fauna.
“An experience of a lifetime, Great Service, Great Value !”
Did the 2 - Day, 1 - Night Experience with my Wife out of Hervey Bay. What an awesome way to experience a bucket list Destination. The Compay was flawless from pick-up at our Caravan Park accomodation to Drop-Off. The highlights of swimming in pure fresh water lakes, Exploring a shipwreck, Driving the 75mile Beach Highway and seeing trees 1000 Years old was just breath taking. A Big Thank You to Jean our Driver/Guide/Caterer/Bus Cleaner/Planner, a very passionate advocate for the Island and all it has to offer. He is a credit to his profession and a True Asset to KGari Explorer Tours. 11/10

“Only the 2 day trip will do!”
Brilliant 2 days out. Definitely visit this pristine heritage listed island!
Beautiful subtropical rainforest, drive 30 km along the famous beach, swim in crystal clear lakes and, yes you will see wild dingos,and be a little bit afraid and cautious of them too.
The bus looks like a regular bus, but powerful 4wd to get along the sandy tracks with towering trees and lush ferns and onto the wide beach with the crashing surf of the Pacific. Dave, our driver and guide is straight out of central casting! Aussie, friendly, capable, funny and always concerned with safety and service and excellent coordination and timing for 2 action packed days. Homemade muffins and Anzac biscuits for morning tea, and excellent buffet lunch at the resort the first day.
Dinner is not included but not expensive. Excellent pub style food with very generous portions for tired trekkers. I can recommend the Barramundi fish and chips and salad.
The motel is essentially unchanged since 1975, which for Xers was a throwback to family summer holidays, but exactly right for this sort of trip, and for the Millenials, it is clean simplicity that they favour too. Clean, with comfortable beds to collapse into.
The second day was another pristine walk. 2.5km in on sandtracks through light forest and then a refreshing swim in a hidden lake, but with a dastardly sand hill to climb out.
To and from the island is by ferry/car barge which added to the adventure. We were all dropped off to our hotels by the very kind and personable Warren who went the extra mile for lost backpackers and some very tired and bewildered overseas visitors.
Definitely do the 2 day overnight trip. It really is a visit to remember.
“A Must See”
An absolute must if you are visiting rainbow beach, make sure to book this trip well in advance so your not left disappointed. Me and my fiance loved the trip and the day was made 10x better with our tour guide Pete who was helpful and funny the whole day
“Great Vibes and Lots of Interesting Facts”
We have an amazing 2 days tour our tour guide Pete!
He taught us so many important facts about the places we visited, always bringing great energy and a genuine willingness to make sure we had a great time (: We truly enjoyed every moment with him. Highly recommended!
“Perfekt”
Very good Tour. Nice Guide, David good driver to. Two days on the Island. The Resort was good. Good Food to. We had a very Good Time.
“Best K’gari travel”
Amazing experience!! We’ve spotted so many animals, enjoyed 4wd travels, fantastic meals and rooms! Our guide was Pete, absolute genius, all the time really kind and he shared us a lot of interesting information!!
“2 Day Tour”
An incredible tour made even better my Jean are tour guide. The stargazing was an added bonus! He really went above and beyond for the two days! Thank you!
“Excellent tour of KGari”
An excellent tour. kgari island is wonderful and a must see in Australia. Both Keith and Jeon really enhanced the experience with information about Kgari including the island, it's history, fauna and wildlife. Would have been a way less enjoyable tour without them. Would definitely recommend the 2 day tour to see more of the island !
“Jean and the 2-Day tour.”
This tour far exceeded any expectation we had. The guide Jean, went above and beyond at every step and his knowledge and manner in which he explained things is superb.
“Unforgettable experience”
Had such a wonderful experience! I spent a while researching tour options and was very happy with where I landed.
We were fortunate to be a small group and our guide David really brought us together in a natural way, especially looking out for the solo travelers.
David was very experienced and gave us lots of facts (without being overwhelming) as well as bringing plenty of good humour - we had a lot of laughs.
A great time - definitely recommend the 2 day tour!
“Great fun and so many experiences.”
Superb 2 day tour and Keith, our guide, raised it to unmissable. Nothing was too much trouble and the information, commentary and humour made it very special. Highly recommended. At least 11 out of 10!
“Best experience ever!”
Keith was our tour guide and we had the best time with him. His passion for the place he calls home was undeniable and helped us to see this beautiful island through his eyes. The stories he shared and his wealth of knowledge were incredible. He was generous with his time, patient with our questions and always spoke with humour that made the whole trip so much fun. The information Keith shared about the Butchulla people of this island was a highlight for me and I am forever grateful for this teaching. Thank you Keith for all that you offer.
“Fraser Island 2-day trip”
Excellent trip with Dave D as the tour guide. Great way to see the Island. Dave is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about K’gari and made the trip so enjoyable. The food provided was also excellent. Highly recommended.
“Two day bus 4wd tour K'gari, definitely sign up!”
We did the 2 day bus 4x4 tour and it was fantastic, Blaire is an exceptional tour guide and hosted a very enjoyable trip. This included a combination of fun, sharing his knowledge of the facts of the country and local wildlife, while being relaxed and structured made this the perfect two days for my father-in-law visiting from Canada. McKenzie creek is brilliant, swimming in the Champaign pools, visiting the headland and Eli Creek, not to mention pinnacles and shipwreck while seeing local Dingos was exceptional!!! Only thing we didn't realise at the time of booking was a 2.5km walk each way was included, people with mobility issues may need to know this in advance. Otherwise, food was great at the K'gari beach resort and local coffee was strong. Memorable two days in one of the most beautiful locations on our planet. Highly recommend and hope you get Blaire as your tour guide!! P.s Blaire is a great human and personally, I think his boss should pay him more (and no, Blaire didn't ask me to include this, I promise!)
“K’gari 2 Day Tour”
Pickup was prompt, and I especially enjoyed the first day of the tour where we visited two beautiful lakes, did a rainforest walk, saw dingos up close, and had plenty of fun with the woopty doos.
I was initially disappointed as I thought I had booked a self-drive 4x4 tour. Our pass said “quad share,” so I assumed we would be driving ourselves. Although that wasn’t the case, I still enjoyed the overall experience.
Dave D was fantastic he made us feel safe, was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and its First Nations history, and kept the day engaging with great conversation and made tones of effort. He has a great laugh!
The food provided was lovely, and I enjoyed the morning tea, which kept us at bay until lunch.
The shared accommodation was comfortable, and it was nice coming back to a warm shower at the end of the day.
The only downside for me was the group dynamic. The people on our tour weren’t very engaging, and as younger women we felt the group skewed a bit more mature, which may suit travellers who prefer a quieter experience with less socialising.
Overall, I still appreciated the trip and the chance to experience K’gari.
“Best Tour Guide - Dave!”
We did the 2 day 1 night K’Gari Tour with Dave!
The food was exceptional, the sites we visited were stunning and well worth the money for the accommodation but the highlight of our trip was Dave! You could really tell how much he loved his job and K’Gari island.
Written November 18, 2025
“Would absolutely recommend”
My sister and I booked a two day tour and it was absolutely worth it. Our Guide and Driver Dave gave a lot of information about K'gari and responded to every single question we had. We felt really save while he navigated the bus through the narrow paths.
We got to see a lot of Dingos, Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, the Maheno Shipwrack and a lot of other great places. Would absolutely recommend!
Also the resort we stayed in was really lovely.
“An unforgettable experience”
A truly unforgettable experience. Spending two days exploring the island and learning about the heritage and what makes it such a special place was amazing from start to finish.
Our tour guide Keith was brilliant – funny, knowledgable and really cares about the heritage of the island. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and way to explore. Added bonus was seeing the sunrise (something I was grateful to jet lag for), whales and dingos.
I’d highly recommend this, and also the added on scenic flight to see the k’gari from above. I’d do it all over again.
“Definitely recommend!”
It was a great experience, got to meet lovely people, good mix of activities and got to see everything I wanted on the island. Good accomodation!
“WAOUH”
I don’t know how to describe my experience it was so amazing ! Our 2 days guide, John, was so great and patient, he took the time to respond at all of my questions, and I had a lot he is a really passionate guide and you can feel it when he tell the story of all the places that we saw. So thank you John ! And also thank you to Keith, another guide who took us back to rainbow beach, we had an amazing moment watching a dingo mom and her two babies howling. Thanks a lot for this !
The accommodation was really good and I had enough time to enjoy all the places that we visited.
I’ll stop now because I have so much good memories and it will be too long to describe this
But if you are not sure to do it, do it, it’ll be worth it 100% !
“K'gari 2 day tour with K'gari explorer tours definitely recommen”
We had an amazing time on K'gari with our guide Blair! Sufficient time at well selected and beautiful stops and lots of information about the island on the side.
We were lucky wildlife and weather wise but i feel like everyone would get a great experience here nomatter the circumstances.
Great tour!
“Great tour”
The booking system, logistics, pickup and transfers were all seamless.
The itinerary was well paced and ticked off all the iconic places I wanted to see. The bus was perfect for the conditions and was a comfortable ride
Our guide was sensational, Keith was very knowledgeable, passionate, articulate and funny host.
It was a great tour
“2 day tour is great!”
We were picked up by John in Rainbow beach. This was a very nice start to our two-day trip to K’gari. At Lake McKenzie we switched to the 2 Day tour bus. So for the rest of our trip we had another tour guide, Jean. Both Tour guides had a lot to say and brought this in a nice enthusiastic way. We got plenty of time to swim and take pictures everywhere because we had 2 days on the island. Also seen dolphins, turtles and dingoes.
Overnight stay at the resort was well arranged.
In short, highly recommended to do! And definitely choose 2 day tour, there is plenty to see!
“2 Day Fraser Island adventure”
The tour guide - Mark (Sarge) - was a credit to the organisation. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was the consummate professional - he had all the facts/history/cultural background and had a delightful delivery. He had a great sense of humour and again was a great representative for the organisation. He drove that bus with a great deal of skill as well.
I would highly recommend both the tour guide Mark and the organisation re the x 2 adventure of Fraser Island. 10/10
“Super tour!”
With the very personable, very knowledgeable Mark at the wheel of our tour bus, we had a super two-day visit to K'gari -- with good-enough accommodations and food plus terrific weather.
“K'gari Adventure”
This tour allowed me to see and do things I would never have done on my own. Blair our driver was excellent, very informative, flexible, considerate, and safe. I learnt so much about K'gari doing this tour and loved the places we visited. I had a fabulous time.
“Amazing K'gari 2 day tour”
Had the most amazing trip to K'gari Island.
Saw all the major amazing stops - Lake mackenzie, Champagne pools, SS Maheno Eli creek, Dingos, Sea plane ($120 extra), Hike to Lake Wabby etc
Overnight stay at the K'gari beach resort - which was comfortable, but rooms a little dated now.
Tour guide - Keith absolutely made the trip!
His enthusiasm and knowledge for the island is incredible and very infectious!
Thank you Fraser tours for an unforgettable trip
“K'gari experience”
A fantastic 2 day tour!!
Keith and Dave made our trip truly memorable, with their vast knowledge and passion for K'gari, it made us fall in love with the island too.
This experience is a must do!!
“Great experience”
We booked this trip as we heard amazing things about the island but weren’t keen to camp & we are so glad we did! Everything was fantastic, from the food to the accommodation, and our tour guide Dave D was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the island, and made sure we enjoyed our time at each spot. Lots of opportunities to swim with nice walks. We even got to see a family of Dingos. Would definitely recommend (from three girls in their 20’s)!!
“Nice way to See fraser Island”
Thanks Pete. He was very nice !!
I enjoyed the tour.
It is a good way to See Fraser Island.
The pick up was also very easy and we saw most sights.
“Great jam packed tour”
Great tour seeing lots around K’gari from the amazing huge Satinay trees and rainforest to amazing inland lakes, creeks, wildlife. Our very knowledgeable guide Keith kept us entertained and showed us so much. Plenty of time to enjoy your surrounds, have a swim, spot a whale! Accomodation and meals fantastic and we were kept at a steady but comfortable pace. Well worth doing if considering a trip to K’gari.
“Take the stress out of touring K'gari”
There's a good reason K'gari Explorer Tours has close to a five star rating. The tour guides. They have a relaxed, welcoming demeanour, that immediately makes you feel welcome.
We've been twice now, and seeing the Island by tour bus is the superior way to get around. Our guide takes all the stress out of managing this on our own, leaving us to simply enjoy being there.
We highly recommend touring K'gari as opposed to the stress of managing fuel, food, tides, tracks and destinations. We can't recommend K'gari Explorer Tours enough.
“Would definitely recommend and we wish to return.”
Our tour was perfect. K’gari is stunning, one of the best places I’ve ever visited .
The different stops are all amazing.
Our tour guide, Mark, was passionate, laid back and very informative throughout the 2 days.
The accommodation and staff were also brilliant.
“FUN!”
The tour was so much fun, saw so many amazing things, it was definitely a bucket list trip without knowing it. Mark (Sarge) was fantastic sharing his knowledge of K’gari with the tour. So many things to see and say about Mark and the tour. Can’t recommend this highly enough
“Overall we felt like the 2 day tour was really good value.”
Super fun and engaging, even with some less than ideal weather.
“We loved our overnight trip to K’gari! ”
Jean was hands down the best tour guide. He was super informative and educational while adding humor to the tour. We were super fortunate to see a bunch of dingoes - even saw some howling. The whole trip was amazing as it was much easier to have a guide navigate us around the island and plan our activities based on the tide changes and the weather. We would not hesitate to do this again. Only complaint was the lack of AC in the overnight accommodations and the terrible food at the buffet but it was tolerable.
“K’gari is amazing!”
A fabulous way to see a lot of the main sights without the stress! Be aware that you go between swimming and walking activities with limited change rooms, so factor that into your outfit. Very informative tour guide and great learning opportunities. We did arrive the 30 mins before the time that was stated, but didn’t leave until 20 mins after allotted time, which meant nearly an hour of standing around at 7:30am. Bring snacks and a water bottle, as there’s only one food stop and it’s a long and busy day.
“Highly recommended! And a big thank you to Dave!”
A fantastic organized tour. You will see all the highlights of the island with different swimming stops. We had a very nice guide Dave, also our skilled driver. He made these days extra special because of his beautiful stories about the island. He seemed to know all about the plants and animals and talked passionately about this. We were also well taken care of along the way with coffee and tea moments with delicious muffins and cookies as well as a nice picnic on day two. Good account was taken of any dietary requirements. We had 2 wonderful days in which we were unburdened and enjoyed it very much.
“We had a lot of fun at the 2 days Safari.”
Our guide Mark, he did a vey very good job, excellent guiding and he could tell us so many interesting Things about K'Gari, and he wass an excellent driver.
“Absolutely recommended, we wouldn't have missed it.”
A perfect two days! Our guide Dave was great, we felt very comfortable and he was able to tell us a lot. The nature was fantastic. We were very happy to be traveling with the bus and not alone.
“Excellent!!”
Mark was an excellent guide who kept up a steady flow of information and humour. Knowledgeable about both the wild life, ecology and history of K’Gari. He has a very approachable and worked hard to wield the 13 of us into a cohesive group that proved the experience for everyone.
The evening meal with all of us together was a highlight.
The pace of seeing the highlights of K’Gari over two days was just right and enabled us to savour the experience. K’Gari was amazing and coming across four dingoes on the beach on the final day was the icing on the cake of a memorable two days.
“Blair was an excellent guide.”
He gave us two wonderful days. We saw all the spots and enjoyed the excellent explanations from Blair
“A must-do if you’re in Queensland.”
What a couple of days! Mark, our guide (and briefly Keith as he collected me from Rainbow Beach) was so knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and passionate during an incredible tour. I learned so much about K’Gari, the First Nations people who originally inhabited the land, and the wildlife on the island. Two days was perfect, in serious comfort and always getting time in each location to really relax and absorb without worrying about being back at the buS.
“Amazing place & Tour!”
Our fantastic guide Jean picked us up at the ferry and from there we proceeded to start a lovely tour of the island including a dip in Lake MacKenzie, a drive in a 4-wheel bus down the mostly deserted, gorgeous east coast beach. Morning tea and lunch were included. Jean covered all the safety issues including warnings about dingoes. Jean was very informative, lots of fun and very patient and kind. The tour continued the next morning with a great hike up to a gorgeous lake (forgot the name) and a visit to the stunning “Champagne Pools.” This day included lots of other great little visits, lunch and great commentary with a ride back later in the day to catch the ferry back to Hervey Bay. Thank you Jean for a great couple days (he’s also a great driver on the sand!) and K’Gari Resort.
“We would recommend this trip 100%.”
From the moment we were picked up from the ferry, our guide Blair was great. Explained everything & he was fun. It was a full on trip, did so much & had a surprise during our tour, which was brilliant. Not giving the surprise away, you will have to do the trip to find out!!
He made our trip amazing.
“Incredible trip. ”
Highly recommend. Our bus driver Blair was very informative and ensured that everyone had a great time
“Lovely adventure!”
We made the tour with our 2 yr old son and loved it. The timings and cadence of the tour was perfect for us as there was enough time to enjoy the beautiful places: we had about 1,5hrs for each of the lakes, pools, creeks etc.
Mark was a great knowledgeable tour guide. Great stories and to-the-point, not rambling on for two days and allowinging some time to enjoy the ride in silence or whilst listening to his epic 80’s rock playlist .For this tour it helps if you enjoy being in the water, although my wife also enjoyed it whilst she’s not the biggest fan of swimming.
“ Would definitely recommend this two day trip and especially Mar”
The trip was amazing, even with the incoming cyclone. The tour guide Mark made it really interesting and made sure we saw everything we could and even took us to some hidden gems of the island.
“Enjoyable”
The trip was a really worthwhile inclusion in our time is Australia. We had two days with our tour guide and driver, Hayden. He was so knowledgable, very friendly and made people feel included. We were fortunate to have just 12 people on our tour which was a lovely number to be able to get to know our fellow travellers a little. The time in the bus was informative but t also great fun. Very bumpy for a lot of the time but also the drive along 75 mile beach was relaxing. Opportunities for swims and walking. We loved every minute of our tour which- made even more exciting when we had to arm ourselves with Dingo sticks to warn off two approaching dingos.
We booked the two nights as part of the trip which was definitely worthwhile for us as it meant there was time to relax at Kingfisher bay resort the night before the two day tour.
“K'gari is a special must see place.”
An incredible experience. Hayden was very knowledgeable and went out of way to rearrange the itinerary to give us the best experience. 2 lunches and snacks included plus breakfast made it easy.
“Would definitely recommend!”
Hayden was a wonderful tour guide - very fun and knowledgeable. We had a great time visiting K’gari island.
“It was just fantastic. Loved it regards Garry.”
It was absolutely fantastic We had a wonderful time. The driver was sensational and the whole experience of the island was wonderful We would recommend it to family and friends and we will come back with more family members next time . As I said the driver of the coach was wonderful and had a fantastic knowledge of the island and most interesting areas . As part of our trip we also went on a scenic flight which was the highlight of the whole experience.
“This is definitely a tour I will be recommending to others!”
I had an amazing time on the tour with Jean, who brought great energy and knowledge, which myself and the group really appreciated! He worked tirelessly to make sure we had a great experience and even did some bonus stops! The tour was an incredible way to spend my birthday and one I will never forget. Thank you so much Jean and K’gari tours for a fantastic few days exploring paradise.
“Our trip to K’gari was amazing. ”
The island itself is beautiful and captivating, but our guide Jean made it extra special. He gave us excellent service, kept us safe, taught us a lot about the flora, fauna and history of the island, and was very friendly. We didn’t have the best weather but it didn’t matter. Don’t hesitate to go and ask for Jean.
“Absolutely a must! ”
From the time you are picked up and dropped off the service, accommodations, and information about the island is AMAZING, not to mention the guides! Keith and Grant make everyone feel special by being humerus, engaging, filled with endless information. We wouldn’t blink an eye to suggest this tour to people considering.
“A wonderful 3 days on K’gari - 1 day at Kingfisher Bay Resort ”
Fabulous trip and would highly recommend. Our guide, Jean, was so knowledgeable and informative. We learnt so much from him and did everything possible to ensure we got the most from our time there. Food included was great and more than enough for our needs.
“Core memories unlocked!”
We had an absolutely incredible two-day tour of K’gari (Fraser Island) with Dave as our guide! From start to finish, he made the experience unforgettable with his deep knowledge he shared his passion for the island’s history, wildlife, and unique landscapes.
The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing us to experience all the highlights—swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Lake McKenzie, floating down Eli Creek, driving along the iconic 75 Mile Beach, and exploring the stunning rainforest at Central Station.
For us it was the right call to having someone to take care of the location and ride timings as well as food (including gluten free) kept our holiday low stress,
Dave’s storytelling brought the island to life, and his off-road driving skills made the journey smooth and exciting!
His enthusiasm was contagious, and it was clear he genuinely loves what he does.
If you’re looking for the best way to experience K’gari, this is an excellent option. look no further. Thanks, Dave.
“The experience was packed into one day. ”
The guides were also able to learn while having fun. But souvenir shops and lunch places were reasonable.
“Just the best tour out there!”
Jean (our driver ) on K’gari (Fraser island ) Explorer 2 day tour was nothing short of amazing. He is so knowledgeable on all things K’gari including the history, plants etc but more importantly his driving was fabulous. It would not be easy to drive on the sand and bush tracks there. I am a terribly nervous passenger and I felt comfortable the whole time. Our group just loved him - :)
The 2 day tour for us was combined with a night pre and post at Kingfisher making it a 3 night tour. The whole thing was fabulous. We saw all the highlights and I felt it represented excellent value for money. We loved Kingfisher resort.
The highlights for me were Lake McKenzie, the walk to Wabby Lake, Eli Creek and champagne pools but it was all totally amazing.
Thanks so much Jean :).
I highly recommend this tour if you are thinking of going to Fraser Island. Much better than trying to drive yourself around or missing some of the highlights.

“Experience Not to Miss!”
Because the tide was high we started our trip from Harvey Bay, and it was great! Keith was attentive and a great guide, made the island even more joyful with his playlist.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!”
The K‘gari tour was our personal highlight of my whole Australia trip! Lake Mckenzie, Eli Creek and the rainforest were my favorites. We had the best tour guide ever - Jean. He was super enthusiastic and kind, explaining all kinds of things.
“Thanks Andy !”
Andy was a super guide who knows really well the island. Nice tour and nice hotel. Quite expensive but worth it.
“Highly recommend way to see K'”
My wife and I had the best time on this 2 day tour. You get to go to an array of sights over the two days and Lake Mckenzie had to be our highlight. The tour was expertly organised and you could sense the experience in the way it was run and the order in which we visited the sights depending on the tides etc. Jean our driver and tour guide is a lovely guy and we really enjoyed the 2 days getting to know him and hearing his wealth of knowledge of the island. The drinks and sandwiches provided were great and they were even able to provide for our dietary requirements. The hotel room was basic but the restaurant and food was great and we had everything we needed. An excellent 2 days and the most memorable part of our few weeks in Australia.
“Thanks again Andy! LEGEND.”
We did the 2 day trip and it was worth it just to get the extra time at Lake Mckenzie! Our tour guide Andy was the G.O.A.T!!! You could tell how passionate he was about his job, answered all our questions and was super chill, friendly and knowledgeable about K’gari.
We got lucky with the weather on our first day so Lake Mckenzie was GORGEOUS, the central station rainforest walk was lovely, as was the afternoon at the champagne pools. The buffet lunch was great with lots of options, dinner wasn’t included but the restaurant at the hotel was fab!
We didn’t have good weather for day 2, but that didn’t stop the fun. The buffet breaky at the hotel was amazing. We had a nice hike to Lake Wabby, followed by tubing at Eli Creek and a visit to the shipwreck. It was a lovely bonding experience for our group and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lots of reviews saying you spend too much time on the bus, but it’s the only way to get to see these unique places so stop whining and take in the beautiful ocean views!
“Hayden number 1. Guide”
Did the 2 day tour with Hayden as our guide he made the two days very enjoyable and informative at the same time great knowledge of the island and clearly loves it. The two days include great accommodation and amazing catering couldn’t have wanted anything more.
“NO WORDS”
There are no words to describe how fantastic this tour is! I can not recommend it enough. Absolutely breathtaking sites made even better by our fabulous tour guide, Blair, giving us lot of interesting information. Blair felt like a friend you'd known for ages, was super knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to give everyone the best experience possible.
This tour is a must, weather you are local, visiting from interstate or overseas!!!
“a wonderful experience. ”
unfortunately we couldn't book a car anymore, so we took the bus - in hindsight a good decision, because so we could see much more. exploring the island was really nice. the tour guide was very nice and the accommodation for the night great. the food was ok. we can only recommend this great trip.
“2 Day tour is the way to go!”
The following 2 days you visit all the key points in the island.
“Great trip, particularly loved Lake McKenzie!”
Tour guide (Mark) was very knowledgeable and also helped us scare off the Dingos!
“Amazing trip ”
2 day tour
Great tour guide Jean - very informative funny and great planning for the trip. Excellent driving on tough conditioning.
Amazing scenery and wildlife.
Great food and snacks onboard the tour.
Accommodation was very good - clean and tidy. Food was ok nothing special at the restaurant but ample at buffet and variety for lunch and breakfast.
Great scenic flight over the island as well. Highly recommend for all travellers of all ages.
“Highly recommend!”
Really enjoyed the 2 day tour, felt like we got to see a lot of the island and had plenty of time in each location. We saw several dingoes, did walks, swam in both Lake Mackenzie & Lake Wabby. The visit to the Champagne Pools area was gorgeous! Our tour guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable about the island and took great care of everyone.
“Great. Great.”
Guide with good humor and facts (thank you Blair). Fantastic places visited. Mandatory hotel is a 5.5 but the rest is top notch.
“We could not recommend this 2 day tour enough!”
We had the best trip to K’gari.
Dave was our tour guide and he was great, very friendly, knowledgable and helpful
The stay at the resort was lovely and we had the best time.
“Would definitely recommend.”
Great tour with Andy, he was very knowledgeable about the island which was great if you had any questions. Price is very reasonable for what you get.
“Highly recommended. Thanks Andy.”
Andy is unbelieveably passionate about Fraser Island. Really helpful tour guide. Exceptionally friendly.
“Definitely a to do item”
We had a great trip with Blair. He was fun and engaging the whole trip. We saw some stunning sights. And swam in 4 very majestic water spots.
“Amazing trip!”
It was just wonderful to spend two amazing days with Blair, thank you so much! Dingoes, amazing creek, hiking, wonderful food!
“Visit to K’gari”
We had an amazing two day experience, visiting some beautiful lakes on the first day and some super views on the second! Our driver John was very knowledgeable and he shared his passion for the island with us. He looked after us all superbly, a real asset to the trip!
“Perfect! I recommend ”
Excursion on top! Everything is well organized, the activities and views are amazing
The resort is perfect, the meals are good, and the room is very comfortable!
“Discover the wildlife hidden between ocean, sand and forest”
The trip in the island is perfectly organised, with the right distribution of time among the different activities. Also the right mix between adventure and confort, adventure and time to relax “in the water”. The island is wonderful, a continuous discovery of unexpected paths, lakes, rivers, pools, desert. The guide was duper professional and totally involved us, with his passion, in the knowledge of K’gari wildlife.
“0 Best experience with Kingfisher Bay resort Tours and guided D”
The 2 day tour with our guide David D was the best. Dave was a true professional and couldn’t have been more considerate and respectful of all guests on board. He clearly showed his skills as a professional truck driver and his knowledge of K’gari was second to none. Dave gave a full two days commentary of the island, its history and its natural beauty.
We had so much time to spend and explore at each of our stops around the island.
We extended our tour with one night before and after at Kingfisher Bay resort. Best decision. No rushing getting to and from Ferries and having to rush back to the highway. The resort is in great condition and set back into nature surrounded by forest.
Just a short walk down to the Jetty to enjoy the most beautiful sunset over the harbour.
Overall couldn’t recommend a better tour guide or company to take you around the island.
“Fraser”
Loved the trip. Tammy from Sea Link was super welcoming and gave some great tips about the beautiful places to visit on the island.
“1 Well packed, beautiful one-day tour”
Great Tour with a big offroad bus. Keith was the Tour guide and provided a lot of interesting information to the Island and the places we went to. He had a good vibe and it felt safe driving with him. For a one day tour you could see a lot of cool places and also you had enough time. I could go for a swim at Lake mckenzie and take a lot of pics.
“Magical Island”
Just spent 2 wonderful days on this island.
The tour guard, Grant could not have been better. Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
Food was wonderful, accomadation was spacious, well equipped and clean. Lots to see and do. Swimming in lakes, greeks and the sea. The forest is truly beautiful. It's a very magical place and great value for money. Highly recommend
“Wonderful experience.”
Dave D was the tour guide. He did a very good job. He explained a lot to us with personal knowledge, but also it was from his heart. He’s very enthusiastic about explaining everything. Fraser Island obviously means a lot to him and it’s not just a job. He cares about this land. We felt safe with him and you could tell he made an effort to know the members of his group and their capabilities. Thank you for a good time, great adventure and you made us feel we were really getting in touch with the island and the nature there. From Ursula and Heinz from Switzerland
“Fantastic two day tour!”
We had an amazing time and highly recommend the two day tour. We loved swimming in Lake Mackenzie and Lake Wabby. We had plenty of time at the different stops and Eli Creek was definitely a highlight! Elissa was a fantastic tour guide and so knowledgeable. We loved every minute of this trip
“Great tour, amazing guide thank you Kirk!”
Great guide driver amazing day! Very well looked after, explained all very well, Kirk went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome and well. Natural, genuine very responsible . We even had tubes to go on the lovely river! Highly recommended
Thank you Kirk all the best in your endeavors!
“Highly recommended”
A fantastic tour. This has a really well designed itinerary, so many amazing sites but time to enjoy them. Andy was a great guide, very knowledgeable and scheduled everything perfectly. Would also recommend the optional flight over the island, very memorable experience.
“Day trip to Paradise!”
Our tour guide Keith was friendly and very knowledgeable, and from the start used various music tracks to enhance the day. His love of the island and his respect for the original inhabitants shown through. All in all a wonderful experience of this unique sand island.
“Magical two day tour - thank you John!”
Excellent couple of days on K’gari with our superb tour guide and driver John. His enthusiasm for this beautiful island was so infectious and he looked after us all so well. We enjoyed all the meals provided and our hotel room was clean and the beds very comfortable - overall a great stay.
“5* tour - courtesy of Keith our tour guide”
Completed this trip to k’gari with my partner in late sept 2024. It was my second time to the island. The first was on a self driving tour but this tour completely trumped it.
We picked this trip because we were not looking to self drive, wanted a tour guide, wanted more of a hotel experience and want a reasonable price. Sneak peak, we got it all!
This tour provided us access to all of the main lakes, sites, creeks, wildlife, views etc of the island but what stood out to be the biggest difference was our tour guide Keith. He mentioned he was new to the particular tour as he normally goes from Rainbow beach but this time did the tour with us from Hervey Bay.
If you opt for this tour I would highly recommend asking for Keith as he remained super engaging and enthusiastic throughout the trip, shared a wealth of local knowledge and was always willing to help/answer questions. A notable touch of class was how he bought everyone together. On a 2 day tour like this most people are awkward with everyone else and you keep yourself to yourself, however Keith made it his goal to bring everyone together for the evening meal where we all engaged with each other making the 2nd day even more enjoyable with new friends!
This trip included fantastic accommodation which was incredibly clean (given the amount of sand which is collected, was is impossible to avoid!).
The bus shown in most of the reviews was brilliantly reliable and comfortable given the conditions of the road… routes lol.
All in all a 5* experience which I can only hope inspires to bite the bullet and click buy! You won’t regret it!
“Lovely trip on k'Gari”
Beautiful island with lots of different kind of stops. By doing the 2 day tour we got lots of time at each of the stops. Our guide Dave was fantastic. Very enthousiastic en very kind to our toddler, who loved the experiences of the beaches.
“Amazing experience K’Gari”
This was a fantastic trip on its own but heightened by Dave and his friendly, knowledgeable and interesting tour. He was kind, thoughtful and extremely intelligent regarding the island. He took time to get know my wife and I as well as the other guests. We would 100% recommend this company to take you to the island - well worth the money!
“It was amazing first time ever to be a Fraser Island was amazing”
The experience of this two day tour was fantastic
David the tour guide was fantastic he was so helpful he looked after all of us
The way he spoke about the history and the stories of the lakes were amazing
Champagne pool was fantastic I would of loved to stay there
“Two Day Fraser Island Tour”
Excellent two day tour of Fraser Island. Our guide Keith was very knowledgeable and friendly. The hotel stay and food were rather standard.
“The tour, the spots and the guide was great”
The guide David was fantastic. He really “went the extra mile” to make the tour special. We saw several dingos and we also had time for some extra stops
“K'gari Explorers, highly recommend!!”
Did the 2 day tour with David. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, fun and above all, a really great guy.
Hi highly recommend K'gari Explorers. We actually chose the 4 day trip which included 2 nights either side of the tour which was great, felt like a real break.
Thanks again David for making our tour so memorable. Highly recommend!!
“Beautiful”
Great variety with detailed commentary from our tour guide. It was a small group who were friendly. A lot of swimming opportunities.
“amazing experience”
Me and my partner did the 2 day 1 night on K’gari which was amazing from start to finish. Our tour guide Mark was absolutely brilliant, not only a great driver, he was very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, everything you’d want in a tour guide! I absolutely loved this experience. The food and rooms were also lovely. I’m so glad we booked onto this tour. Thank you Mark for showing us this beautiful island!
“A must do”
Fantastic tour guide Blair made the day fun and interesting, he is so knowledgeable and helpful. Great tour of the Island
“A must do”
Fantastic tour guide Blair made the day fun and interesting, he is so knowledgeable and helpful. Great tour of the Island
“2 Day tour is the way to go..”
Don’t just think about this one.. The 2 day tour of K’gari is amazing. Thank you Andy for being a great guide & driver. From the beautiful fresh water lakes McKenzie & Wabby to stunning Champagne Beach and a perfect fresh water river to drift down to finish the tour.. Magic
“Amazing 2 day tour”
Great 2 day tour - Mark was an amazing tour guide, very friendly and had interesting facts on everything we saw! We would recommend the flight that takes off and lands on the beach
“Two day tour a must.”
Thank you, David, (our driver). Two days allowed us to do more places with longer stops. This tour is more than we hoped for and great value.
Cheers 2/11.
“Delights of Kgari”
Excellent pace. Not too fast, not too slow. Got a taste of everything (Lake Mackenzie, Lake Wabby, Central Station, King ferns, 1000 year old Sattinay tree, dingos, whales, eagles, fish, Champagne pools, Eli Creek, Pinnacles, 75 mile Beach, Aboriginal middens, as well as some 'island time'). Felt very looked after by tour guides Keith and Jean. Both friendly, respectable, good natured, reliable and ready to answer questions and willingly share their knowledge of Kgari along the way. A really enjoyable two day experience of Paradise.
“An experience not to be missed!”
We had the best time on our two day tour! David was amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great experience. We saw some seriously beautiful scenery, both walking and from the tour bus! We were even lucky enough to see dingos twice. The absolute standout for us was Champagne Falls rock pool and the epic journey to get us there! Pure determination on David's part! So glad we made it, as it would be in my top 5 swimming experiences ever! Thanks David! H & K
“K’gari 3 night, 2 day tour”
We took the 2 day tour and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our tour guide and driver Mark or “Sarge” was very entertaining and full of local knowledge. We stayed 2 nights at Kingfisher and one night at K’gari Beach Resort. We Thoroughly recommend this tour.
“Bucket list tour!”
Andy was our tour guide for the 2 day tour and was fantastic! What an amazing and memorable 2 days. We saw so much and Andy was very knowledgeable + a great driver! Thank you, Andy!
“A memorable, recommended 2 day experience”
Our tour highlights were driving along the water's edge to the sound of some Aussie Rock classics, listening to Keith's passionate commentary on everything we were about to see, and swimming in crystal clear Lake Mackenzie, Eli Creek and Champagne Pools. K'gari is incredible and Keith made sure we made memories that will last a lifetime. Several attempts were needed to get us up the sand hill leading to Indian Head and Champagne Pools, but Keith was determined to get us there. His success was met with cheers from our small tour group. Keith also towed out a bogged 4 wheel drive. Thanks for an awesome, fun and informative tour.
“0 Incredible experiences and wonderful guide”
Just came back from K’gari doing the 2-day-tour… It was absolutely mind-blowing, and mostly thanks to our incredible guide Dave D. Dave is so knowledgeable about the wildlife, the vegetation and the History of the island! I appreciated his generosity, as well as the respect he has towards nature and animals. He is passionate and was in awe with everything we’ve seen just like us, like he’s discovering everything all over again. It made everything special!
We were also lucky enough to be a some spots first, which was even more pleasant, and K’gari Beach Resort was perfect, from the meals we had there to the room for the overnight stay.
I will recommend it to everyone I know, and I would be more than happy to do it again by bringing my partner next time!
“K'Gari 2 day tour”
Exceptional trip! We got to experience both Keith and Kurt who were wonderful hosts on K'Gari. Enthusiastically sharing their knowledge and stories of the island with total respect for the butchalla people. The tour exceeded expectations. Dingos galore and whales in abundance - a magnificent show from nature they could not have planned for.
Swim stops at Lake Mackenzie, Wabbi, Eli Creek and champagne pools (we found our own there). Food was super from morning tea, lunch and a really good evening meal. Rooms were clean and functional - only used them for a sleep. 75 mile beach never fails to disappoint.
Thanks for a brilliant adventure, memories for a lifetime and so glad we made it.
“Thanks to Kurt for an excellent K’gari Tour”
Amazing tour of K’gari. Shout out to Kurt who was an awesome guide over the two days. He was knowledgable, enthuasiatic and brought awesome energy to the trip. We were blown away with K’gari and the two day trip was perfect for my fiance and I as we are touring the east coast of Australia. The first day was great even with some rain which we were unlucky to have but Kurt kept enthusiasm high and we all had a great time with lake Mackenzie, central junction etc. Day two was epic with fantastic weather. Champagne pools, west side of the island and the famous ship wreck SS Maheno were amazing spots plus many more. Highly recommend this trip.
“0 Fraser island: a must see in Australia under the guidance of ”
We did a fantastic 2 day tour under the very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guidance of Jean. He took us safely to the many beautiful places of the island. He knew all the ste tell about the flauwe and fauna of the island.
“Amazing trip”
What a great experience that we will never forget! From the get go Keith our tour guide made us feel so welcome and the overall experience was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable and ensured that everybody was taken care of. He really went above and beyond to get to know all of the passengers on the bus. He had a fantastic sense of humour and had us enjoying the experience and laughing all day long. Keith made sure that our luggage was looked after and had great stories to share. Thank you for a very positive experience.
“Just magical”
Absolutely magical.
Thank you to Dave for a brilliant day.
We are a young family of five, and we all found this to be the highlight of our trip.
“Perfect”
The tour was amazing. Andy, our guide, had real nice stories about the history of the island and lot of knowledge about its nature. During thedrive on the beach, we saw dingos, whales and of course the beautiful sea. The trip on the plane was every penny worth. To see the eain forest, sea including whales from the sky is unforgettable. In short, the 2 days were overwhelming
“Amazing experience”
Amazing experience- just so much fun
David was the most brilliant and experienced tour guide. We had such a laugh and saw some amazing and brilliant places. Be prepared for the thrill of your life
“Guy, the best tour guyd.”
Thank you for a great 2 day tour experience. You are very knowledgeable, entertaining and professional, making our time on the island the best it could have been. Thanks for including some extra excitement not listed on the tour, including live whale watching and dead whale watching. Also what felt like free horse riding (bumpy coach ride). You are also a great photographer.
“Amazing experience, stunning scenery…”
Enjoyed every moment of this tour. It was well paced with plenty of time to enjoy all the attractions. Our guide David was fun, friendly and informative. There were a variety of different activities, bush walks, swimming in both salt and fresh water, walking massive sand dunes and generally taking in all that nature has to offer.
Everything ran very smoothly, we were kept informed of all the activities we would be undertaking and how long we would have at each destination. Every staff member we encountered was courteous and helpful.
The optional flight from the beach, which we weren’t originally going to do, turned out to be a highlight and I would thoroughly recommend.
I would say the only thing that was somewhat of a let down was some of the food. I was really looking forward to the picnic on the second day but it turned out to be a pre made salad roll and juice, a bit lacking in imagination.
“0 Great value and well organised tour”
Great experience, the tour sites were varied and some involved walks of 1 - 5 km return.
Dingos along the coast and whales off the coast were spotted.
David our guide was fantastic and participated in all activities and joined us for dinner as well
“Amazing K’gari”
A fantastic two day tour of this amazing island. Jean, our guide, was very engaging and informative. He made the tour a special experience for all of us and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience to anyone.
Thank you Jean and all the best
Andrew, Helen and family
“Wonderful!”
Would recommend this unreservedly! Every aspect of the trip ran smoothly from booking to set down at the Marina at the end of the trip. Driving along the spectacular 75 mile beach was unforgettable and the tour took in all the sites. We spent the right amount of time at each place to really explore and enjoy it. Our guide and driver Blair was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He thoughtfully suggested return trip to Eli creek on the second day when it was sunnier and people could really enjoy floating down. Another highlight was finding a plane waiting on the beach to take those that wanted to on a stunning 15 minute flight across the sea and inland K’gari. A never to be forgotten trip - just wonderfu
“Definitely worth doing”
The tour organisation was excellent; pickup, ferry, 4WD bus on K'gari, meals, stops, information, swims, the drives ... all wonderful. There are a lot of elements that go to make this tour, and most worked really well. Maybe make it clearer that the walk into Lake Wabby is not just 5km round trip, taking about 35 minutes each way, but that it's a sometimes steep walk - testing the fitness of most older people at least. There's no doubt that the island is unique and amazing.
“Great experience”
Lots to see in the nature. Nice staff, well organized tour. We liked the resort, too. Scenic Flight was a great bonus.

“Paradise”
The experience was excellent and our guide Jean is an expert driver and the best possible leader. K'gari Island is a real paradise and this 2 days trip was perfectly organized: I have not regrets, only good memories and a beautiful experience.
“Just beautiful”
We did the 2 day tour. Our tour guild was Jean, he was brilliant- feeding March flies to the fish and making sure we didn’t get stuck in the sand on the roads! Adapted the tour so we got to spend the most time in each of the places we visited. Got to see around 20 dingoes in one day!
“ Anssi K Anssi K 1 contribution 1 Great experience Dec 2023 • ”
We had Jean as our guide on the two days tour, and he was absolutely incredible.
We visited all the places mentioned in the itinerary on the website and had plenty of time in each. All was planned nicely with the tides times. We were lucky enough to see plenty of Dingoes and birds.
Jean had a lot of knowledge and was very friendly and great to talk to. Overall, great experience!
“Everything we wanted out of a Tour and so much more!”
Absolutely brilliant! Can’t say enough good things about this Tour! And one of the best parts about it was our amazingly knowledgeable Tour guide Dave! What a guy! He knew every answer to every question we had about K’Gari island! And so much more! Was the entertainment to our trip! And so much more! We experienced some epic places and made some of the most amazing memories! Even met some new friends! But honestly Dave you just made the trip for us!! Thank you so much! You will not be forgotten! And what a place in the world to visit! Beyond happy with this little adventure!! Big up Big D!
“Amazing trip.”
Amazing trip. Wonderful tour guides John and Keith who were so knowledgeable and took us everywhere and made the 2 days unforgettable for us.
“Would absolutely recommend”
We spent two days on the island and would recommend this amount of time. We got to see plenty of Dingos and had a lovely time
“Great place, great guide”
Excelent tour, the island is really special. Our guide Guy did an outstanding job in showing us the island and making us have fun.
“Perfect 2-day tour”
Amazing 2-day trip to K‘igari with a cool group. Our guide Mark made a brilliant job and knows so much about the island.
Good food, great tour! Would recommend it to everyone:)
“Chandler H”
The tour guide Guy was great and showed us all the best spots. People were great and the hotel was really nice - good food and atmosphere. The bus is big which we didn’t realise, we thought it was a smaller jeep type car, but was still a great experience.
“Experience 2 dat tour”
It was a beautiful and fun tour. We have seen beautiful places. We were given enough time to be present at the different places. The guide Keith made it clear that this was a beautiful 2 day tour. He made jokes, knew a lot about the island and was happy to chat with you.
Highly recommended!
“A fantastic way to explore K'Gari.”
A fantastic trip from start to finish. The tour was extremely well organised but relaxed and informal at the same time. The pace of the tour was very well judged, covering all the main sites without feeling rushed. Our tour leader, Guy, gave us lots of information about the natural environment and history of the island with enthusiasm and good humour. The overnight stay at K'gari beach resort was functional but comfortable. Highly recommended tour.
“2 day tour,”
Had an amazing 2 day tour hosted by mark and grant. Both men had great knowledge of the island. We seen a lot with out feeling rushed
“Two special days in K'Gari”
WE Had a great time in K'Gari. Although the weather wasn't the best in Day 1 our Guide Guy hast made the best Out of it. We have seen all the famous sights Like Lake McKenzie, Champagne Pools, Eli Creek , Lake Wabby, etc... The acomodation and food was very good as well. Espacially the Guide Guy was very entertaining with his stories and he has a broad knowledge of the Islands Flora and Fauna and History.
We would suggest to gather the group together for Dinner for more time to share experiences.
But in total we had two very special, funny, interesting days.
“K’gari and Keith - a highlight of my Aus trip.”
I did the 2 day tour which I would say is absolutely worth doing. Going to all of the different spots around K’gari was brilliant and I had such a great time. Whilst the island was truly beautiful, the trip was really made special by Keith, our knowledgable guide and 4WD bus extraordinaire . It felt like Keith knew everything there was to know about the island and he conveyed his knowledge with endless enthusiasm and a genuine passion that you couldn’t help but be encapsulated by. Alongside this, it was all such a great laugh and me and my friends spent the whole trip laughing and smiling, almost entirely thanks to Keith and how he made every moment full of life. Thank you K’gari explorer tours and thank you Keith, you are well and truly a legend!
“A great experience in an outstanding location”
As good as all of the great reviews. We had 3 drivers on the 2 day tour. John, Andrew (main driver) and Keith were both personable and knowledgable as well as being exceptionally good drivers.
Overnighting at the resort was equally good with seamless check in and very good food, both the included meals as well as the dinner which was not included in the tour.
“Great trip ”
Diverse group including people from different countries from young to old and enough time to enjoy everything in a relaxed manner. Pleasant stay at K’gari Beach Resort. Many thanks to our tour guide Martin. He told us a lot of interesting things about the history of the island, was able to answer all of our questions and was always concerned about our well-being. Never loosing patience, he repeated information and safety instructions up to three times to reach the last person in the group. Respect :) With his pleasant sense of humor and great skills, he was able to solve all unforeseen circumstances quick and easy.
Idea for the future: Would have been nice to enjoy a sundowner together on the beach...
Nevertheless, an unforgettable experience on a great trip!
“This is the tour to take!”
Top class experience. Excellent customer service, knowledgeable guide, just 2 fun days with something for everyone. Excellent food, sightings of Dingos, comfortable accommodation, fantastic bus, seen all the sights. Couldn't have wished for better - thank you to Jean and James.
“Fun and beautiful tour!”
The whole tour is as amazing! We had Guy as our tour guide and he was very informative and friendly, making the tour really enjoyable. We got to see all the main attractions including Lake Wabby, Lake Mackenzie. Central Station, Maheno Shipwreck, Champagne Pools and Eli Creek. The resort was also great, just what we needed after a long day exploring. Would highly recommend.
“Hayden is the boss man!!”
Terrific tour, Hayden was the best tour guide ever!!! Friendly, informative, provides spider advice and lots of laughs and looked after everyone like family!
Overnight resort could use a little improvement but was good for one night
Overall K’Gari Two Day Trip was amazing!
“Great experience”
Amazing! Mike showed us a lot of spots in the island and taught us so much! Thank you Mike for the great experience and fun time!
“Absolutely amazing”
We had a great time during this 2-day tour. Lake McKenzie and the sunrise at the beach were our favourite parts. Thanks Gary for an amazing job.
“A beautiful two days on K’gari”
A great two days on K’gari/Fraser Island. Beautiful scenery. Lovely places to swim & enjoy the water. Lake Mackenzie was so blue and Lake Wabby so green! The 75 mile beach on the East coast stretched on for miles! We saw whales, sharks and dingoes. We enjoyed the bubbly Champagne Pools (no champagne) and the ‘lazy river’ at Eli Creek. Excellent overnight accommodation at Eurong. Warren was a very knowledgeable guide & excellent sand dune driver!
“Fun, relaxed pace and brilliant tour guide.”
Strongly recommend the 2-day trip. Saw and experienced everything at a relaxed pace. Swimming at several beautiful spots and a lovely 2.5 bush walk. Best part - we were never rushed. Guy (our Tour Guide) was fantastic - chatty, knowledgeable and great fun. Overnight accommodation was basic holiday unit, but clean and well presented. Best part is thundering along the bush tracks and along the beach and not having to worry about the driving. Thanks again Guy - you are five stars!
“K’Gari tour”
Wayne was knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour, and that old school Aussie charm. Great activities, fun driving around the sandy tracks! Good food!
“Awesome tour”
The tour was wonderful! We are not swimmers but we could perfectly enjoy ourselves when the group was going for a swim. Guy had so much to tell and we learned so much and we had a blast. The island is beautiful too. I just didn't care for the Eurong hotel too much, it's quite obvious you have nowhere else to go and they know it. But the tour was just amazing
“Great time at Kgari”
Mark was amazing very informative and had the whole group socializing together. 10/10 would recommend
“Memorable island trip”
Two day tour recommended - we had enough time for all views, walks and water activities. K‘Gari was a great experience for both adults and kids. Mark was an excellent guide and bus driver! We learned a lot about history, flora and wildlife of the island. Mark with his charm and sense of humor formed out of the multinational group a team of adventurers :-)
“Great way to see this beautiful island”
The tour and our guide Mark were excellent. Great weather and experiences and accurate information.
We felt safe with Mark. We did the optional flight leaving from the beach. A great 15min experience. It was well worth
doing the 2 days as we saw more, it was not rushed and was a good group dynamic. Having someone else drive was welcome- we saw some tow trucks with 4WD on the back!
“K’Gari Two Day Tour”
tyres to float down the creek on - we loved this. We were provided with a tea and snack stop during the first day. Cakes and cookies were all fresh and looked homemade. Two of us are gluten free, delicious GF caramel slices were provided.
In the evening the hotel was perfect, rooms were spacious, clean and had excellent bathrooms. Included in the price was a buffet evening meal and buffet breakfast. Both had good and plentiful choices. Food was labelled if GF but staff were happy to help too. At breakfast a separate toaster was available and plenty of GF bread.
A packed lunch was provided on the second day as well as another tea stop.
We were lucky to see dingoes, whales, rays and a turtle. Steve was a wealth of knowledge about all wildlife and plant life.
Would thoroughly recommend this trip.
“2 day K'gari tour”
Excellent tour. Mark gave us lots of information about the island and general information. Accommodation was good and meals good.
“Amazing tour!”
Amazing tour! Everything was well-organized and planned. For us, two days was perfect to see all the highlights of K’gari without rushing too much. Our tourguide Warrant was a very nice and funny guy! Would really recommend this tour!
“breathtaking journey!”
K‘gari tour was just amazing! And Mark is such an awesome tour guide.
The island's pristine beaches and diverse landscapes make it a must-visit destination! such an unforgettable adventure.
“Amazing time with a great guide”
K‘gari tour was just amazing! And Mark is such an awesome tour guide.
The island's pristine beaches and diverse landscapes make it a must-visit destination! such an unforgettable adventure.
“Amazing time with a great guide”
Very fun time on K’Gari, our guide Dave D was very knowledgeable of the history of the island and gave us an amazing time on this tour. Would highly recommend
“K'gari 2 day tour”
My friends and I had the best time while exploring K'gari. The tour was amazing along with the tour guide Mark. We all learnt so much and will carry these memories with us forever.
“Top rated, best ever”
Mark’s enthusiasm for history and his passion for connecting with fellow humans!! Amazing dude. He keeps himself inspired and entertained, and that makes an engaging experience for all.
“Whales to the left, dingos to the right, nature at its finest!”
We just returned last night and we are still glowing! Mark was the perfect guide. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does. We saw so many whales, dingos, birds… McKenzie Lake was truly breath taking. We would certainly recommend this tour.
“Fantastistic Tour”
It was a really amazing tour, one of the best trips we have done here in Australia! We had Hayden as our tourguide and he was so funny and told us a lot of interesting information. We really recommend coming during whale seaspn as we saw a bunch of them even from the shore! All in all a very amazing tour and we could recommend it to everyone :)
“Amazing”
“2 day getaway on K’Gari for honeymooners”
We arrived K’Gari during our honeymoon trip in Australia, the nature on the island is absolutely breathtaking, on top of that we got Mark as our instructor and he made the experience even better he was extremely nice and super informative and answered every question we had and add even some more info so we’ll be fully covered!
We had some guided tours during our trip but we haven’t met an instructor like Mark!
We’re highly recommending the trip and if you could get Mark as your instructor it’ll make the experience way better
“nothing can compare”
gosh where do i begin? firstly Fraser Island/K'gari is a must-do if you're on the east coast, the natural beauty is phenomenal, we saw dingos and whales as well as all the sites. Secondly, David our tour guide was a gem, we had a bus breakdown and he was so calm about it and got us back on track asap. I was super nervous as this is my first time travelling solo but highly recommend if you're looking for a more relaxed experience with an expert driver !! + staying in the resort was absolute luxury after being in hostels
“Great choice for a family”
Mark was our guide and he was a professional, had lots of knowledge and the ability to pass it in a funny and interesting way
It was also great to meet afterwards in the evening with good vibes
we had enough time in all the places and it's a great tour to see fraser
We even got to see a baby whale
“Best two day experience in Australia”
Mark was a fantastic guide. Very quick with a laugh, you can tell he enjoys his job and showing travellers around. Action packed itinerary - lakes, rainforest, crystal clear creeks, ocean pools, sand dunes. We took the optional plane ride and saw sharks and whales and landed on the beach near the shipwreck. Great memories. Thanks.
“K’gari Explorer 2 Day Tour”
Our guide, Mark (Sarge) was amazing, knowledgeable, friendly and a delight. Visiting the lakes was our highlight.
“Awesome family trip to Fraser Island”
We went on a guided tour with Hayden, and it was awesome. Hayden was a very friendly, humorous and knowledgeable guide for Fraser Island. The Island is definitely worth visiting but be warmed there will be some challenging hiking routes so when bringing young children, be prepared to suffer and carry them when they get tired.
“Thank you Mark!”
Mark was amazing!!! You could tell he loved his job and it made it so much fun for the family. I’m from the US and had such an amazing time-my favorite part was seeing dingos and whales!
“Great experience”
The 2-day trip was amazing, everything i saw was so surreal it was like i was in a fairytale. The tour guide was also very entertaning and full of fun facts.
“Fantastic tour of K'gari!”
Fantastic trip! Great variety of scenery!
Our driver/guide Guy of the Big Blue Bus did an amazing job!
So don't hesitate to experience Fraser Island this way for yourselves! You won't be disappointed!
“Great 2 day tour”
K’gari island was beautiful. The tour covered lots of the island and the food was great and plentiful. Guy our tour guide was great, very friendly and informative. The tour is suited to those wanting a relaxed and chilled trip, not a party trip.
“Great trip - Wayne was brilliant”
We did the two day tour on May 9-10
Wayne our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about K’Gari.
The highlight for me was Lake Mackenzie
The resort was comfortable but one downside was the food. Buffet breakfast and lunch was very ordinary
“Great tour with great guide”
The tour was excellent start ot finish. Hayden was great fun and so knowledgeable about the island. Highly recommend.
“Great trip around Fraser Island”
A most fantastic 2 day trip around Fraser Island .From initial pick up from Keith and follow up from Wayne both guides were first class. The bus was brilliant and timings were spot on.Mackenzie Lake being the highlight for us .
“Amazing trip to Fraser Island with the best tour guides, Wayne &”
Excellent experience visiting Fraser Island with K’gari explorer tours. Our tour guides, Keith and Wayne, were both so friendly & fun and had exceptional knowledge about the island which they shared with us throughout the tour. We felt very well looked after and entertained throughout the tour which included seeing Dingos, rainforests, swimming at Lake Mackenzie, Eli Creek and Champagne pools. We would highly recommend a trip to Fraser Island on Keith or Wayne’s bus to anybody looking for a fun, eventful and incredibly memorable trip to K’gari!
“2 days in Paradise”
Guy was amazing, a wealth of knowledge!
We had waited 18 months, rescheduling after covid but it was well worth the wait. Kids loved the 4WD bus experience and K'gari really is Paradise. Having tried to self-explore some years prior I highly recommend doing the guided tour to see everything on offer.
“Fraser Island wonders and wanders”
Dave was amazing.Not only was he a really good driver, but also very knowledgeable and ensured we had the best time. Loved the entire trip and being able to do a scenic flight at an additional cost was well worth every cent.
“A great trip highly recommended”
The knowledge and friendliness of our guide along with the range of sites we got to visit. Hayden was experienced and keen to go that little further.
“GUY IS AWESOME”
I’ve had the most pleasurable experience on this trip thanks to Guy! He was a great tour guide and host and has everyone’s thoughts and feelings in mind and made sure everyone was okay every step of the way! Thank you so much! I will highly recommend this trip to friends and family!
“Epic 2 days on K'gari with Wozzer”
'Epic' 2 days doing the K'gari Explorer tour. Warren 'Wozzer' was a fabulous tour guide, we saw so much of the island, all carefully calculated to ensure we reached every stop at the right moment taking account of the tides, sun, and other visitors. Impossible to choose a highlight there were so many, but we really enjoyed Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, The Champagne pools, the walk to Lake Wabby, and of course the Dingo sightings. Driving through the island and down 75 mile beach was great fun, Warren really made the trip with his huge knowledge of the island and great sense of humour and adventure.
“Great experience”
A wonderfull experience explained and presented perfectly by Wayne our quide. Fraser Island is an adventure playground not to be missed.
“K’gari at its best”
We had a magnificent two days with K’gari Explorer Tours. Thanks to Cam, Jean and Keith for ensuring we saw everything as advertised in the promo, plus sightings of osprey catching fish, whale swimming along the coast, dingo walking through Champaign Pools while everyone was sunbathing and swimming, sharks from the air etc… Two amazing days, thank you
“WORTH THE BOUNCE!”
Great way to see the Island. Relaxed pace made all the easier by our tour leader, Mark aka Sarge.
Bus was comfortable and good fun over the lumpy bits
Highly recommended.
“Amazing experience with Mark”
Absolutely an exciting great tour from the start !!
Mark, our tour guide made our experience of the two day tour one that we will never forget. Mark is a exceptional credit to the company and we definitely would like to return and do the tour again with Mark as our guide again. His knowledge of Fraser Island as well as his driving is outstanding to say the least. He is always putting others first and always up for a laugh.
“Incredible adventure, great drivers, friendly staff and amazing ”
Mark, our driver gave us a safe and adventurous tour. He is very knowledgable and shares his experience, with a pinch of humour. Glad he kept us clear of any drop bears. Getting through the sand on a bus is incredible in itself and added to the views, fauna and jaw dropping places just adds to the fantastic experience. Lake Mc Kenzie or the Champagne pools are some of the highlights. The stay at the l’haricot resort was lovely and comfortable. It is a nice way to link up with the group and meet new people.
Thanks also to Keith who picked us up.
This tour comes at a price, and is worth every penny, if you want my opinion.
ENJOY AND THANK YOU!
“K'gari a must visit!!”
Amazing experience !! Enjoyed the ocean views, the water fun and the nature walks. Our tour guide Mark was awesome. Made a difference to gain some knowledge about the island and its history! Well timed toured and made it easy to visit all the iconic spots with enough time to enjoy them:)
“You have to do this!”
What an amazing place this is! We loved our two day Fraser Island tour so much from beginning to end. Hayden was an excellent guide and a pleasure to spend these days with.
“The best tour EVER !!”
Have just spent 2 days exploring K’gari with Mark (Sarge), it was the best tour I have ever been a part of.
Mark made everyone feel welcomed from the first few minutes and as the tour went on we were all at ease and enjoying his and everyone’s company.
How he told his stories of the history of K’gari was entertaining and knowledgeable.
I can’t recommend this tour enough.
“2 day K’gari tour.”
Best way to explore Fraser Island if you don’t have a 4 wheel drive. Wayne our tour guide & 4wd bus driver was exceptional.
“Fraser Island 2 day tour”
Wayne was a really good instructor on the 2 days tour. Would really recommend booking with him if possible. Really good food both days.
